Ben Affleck has reportedly sent “mixed messages” to Jennifer Lopez as they go through their ongoing divorce, according to sources. The couple, who shocked fans when Lopez filed for divorce in August, have maintained a public facade of togetherness, even being spotted recently with their children. However, behind the scenes, things seem much more complicated.
An insider said Magazine In Contact that Affleck’s behavior is creating confusion for Lopez and their children. “It sends mixed signals and it’s unhealthy for everyone involved. It’s like being stuck on a roller coaster,” the source explained.
Despite the turbulent dynamic, Affleck still intends to finalize the divorce. His friends and family are urging him to act with more intention and stop making impulsive decisions, the source added. Some fear his addictive personality has now moved towards romantic entanglements, with the source alleging that “Ben seems to be excited to go back and forth with J.Lo, even though he has no plans to go further than just having fun.
Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, reportedly disapproves of the situation and believes it’s a “terrible idea,” especially with their children involved. The divorce could also become financially contentious, as the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement. They have reportedly been working on a settlement for months, but Lopez is reportedly unhappy with how things have gone.
A source claims Lopez feels betrayed and is reviewing their financial dealings during the marriage, particularly focusing on Affleck’s spending habits. “She’s upset about the amount of money Ben spent during their time together,” the source revealed. “From private jets to luxury hotels and other expenses, she counts every penny.”
The legal battle over their wealth is expected to be intense, especially given Lopez’s anger over the breakdown of the relationship and her claims that she has not given up on their marriage.
